My Husband Hates Me, But He Lost His Memories Chapter 69.1

My heart raced as if I was on the edge of a cliff. Losing my composure for a moment, I stared blankly at him and stumbled a little.

The moment Zen grabbed me, Theodore came in front of me. His gaze, which glanced at Zen, was soon pinned to mine.

I was now in the form of a handmaid. Still, he seemed to be looking at ‘Lily’. After belatedly recovering my senses, I realized that I had to act like a lady-in-waiting and quickly bowed my head. And I said in a trembling voice.

“Your Grace, Duke Valentino.”

“…….”

He looked down at me for a long time without saying anything, then let out a slight sneer. Then his hand reached out and grabbed my arm. I was startled and trembled greatly.

Staring at him with eyes wide open, Theodore said coldly, raising his lips in a sneer.

“I kept thinking it was strange. It’s the first time I’ve seen this handmaid, yet I’m so familiar with her movements.”

“…….”

“Was your getaway partner Zen Delacroix? …Tell me, what did you two do at that cabin?”

The question was so absurd that I was just speechless, but Zen suddenly interrupted.

“No, listen, Your Grace! What are you even saying—”

“You. Shut up.”

Theodore glared at him, and Zen clamped his mouth shut. Theodore fired another shot at Zen, who hesitated and withdrew.

“Was it fun to pretend when you’re hiding my wife? I will be sure to file a case against House Delacroix about this. You’ll see.”

With Theodore’s ferocity, Zen pressed his lips together not being able to say anything.

As I had been stunned until then, I hurriedly opened my mouth to correct Theodore’s misunderstanding.

“Young Duke Delacroix only helped me out of pure good will. He’s not my getaway partner.”

But Theodore tugged at my arm even harder and made a beastly threatening sound.

“Pure favor? Do you still believe in that kind of thing? His feelings for you are not pure goodwill!”

I didn’t know what was making him so angry. Everything was confusing. If he wanted to blame me for running away, that would be all he had to do. But he seemed angry for other reasons as well.

It was like… he was jealous of Zen because I was with him.

“…….”

Could it be my misunderstanding? I couldn’t believe it, so I blinked blankly.

“…Why are you doing this?”

“Why am I doing this? Are you asking because you don’t know?”

“No… I don’t know.”

I cried and shook my head. His unknown anger was too much for me, and I didn’t want to be caught by him like this. But in this situation, I couldn’t figure out how to escape.

At that time, the blue flame that rose from Theodore’s fingertips passed through my body in an instant.

The next moment, pure white silver hair spilled down to my waist. My arm, which looked a little healthy for borrowing someone else’s appearance, returned to my original, slender form.

I realized that my body has become fully mine.

Just now, Theodore’s spirit power drove away the magic of the magic tool that was hanging on me.

“I will not allow you to leave my side. You can’t.”

“…….”

The blue eyes glowed with flames. The ferocious emotions in those eyes were unfamiliar. Contrary to what I had always seen… It had a different feeling somehow.

But without even having time to think about what it was, the situation suddenly changed again.

“Ventus!”

After waking up his spirit, Zen created a golden wind and moved me to where he was. I heard Theodore’s roar as he lost me in an instant.

“Zen Delacroix!”

“Ah, we were caught anyway, I will help you properly! Run away, Lily!”

Zen raised another strong wind, pulling me away from him and Theodore.

With a furious expression, Theodore glared at me with eyes that would set the world on fire. He tried to run towards me, but Zen blocked his way.

“Zen Delacroix… Are you asking for a death sentence?”

“I knew it. You’ve lost your mind again, Duke Valentino.”

Zen clicked his tongue and started to block Theodore with all his might.

Blue flames and golden wind clashed against each other in the peaceful harbor. People screamed and ran away from the two spirit contractors.

I also hurriedly went to Charlotte and started running together. I didn’t know where to go. It was just running and running.

‘I’m tired…!’

My body had never run like this before, so I was out of breath and my chest started aching.
